Tue, 22 May 2012 12:23:05 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=149320#comment-304888Minority races are not much more prone to violence- lower socioeconomic classes are prone to more violence, which happens to be where many of our minorities persistently sit on the class scale. Violence among whites from similar backgrounds is similarly high. As for the fact that the four gentlemen who were arrested have Hispanic last names…grab an LA phone book sometime or go to a Dodgers game and you’ll find out that simple demographics- not crime statistics- are what made it likely that this was done by Hispanics.
This is the last I’m going to argue with a racist. Arguing only makes sense when the other side adheres to basic rules of logic, reason and facts.

Yup. Just LA and Philly. That goodness this is contained!

Mon, 21 May 2012 19:41:29 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=149320#comment-304625Absolutely small story completely blown out of proportion by the idiotic LA media (and then the national media) who were (apparently) starved for a story. I heard updates this morning several times on local morning news, yet security (including uniformed off-duty LAPD officers) handled the incident. Yes indeed, security responded and arrested the perpetrating morons. Amazing how that minor bit of news was trivialized in most accounts, or stated incorrect. The victim has minor injuries and is in stable condition. There wasn’t a need to update anything, it was hardly a breaking story.

Road rage happens everywhere, and I imagine crap like that happens several times a day in ALL major cities. If the morons in question play their fender games a block or two away from the Stadium this never sees the light of day, but because McAsshat was a cheap, greedy toad anytime a leaf lands too hard in the Dodger Stadium parking lot its those evil, scumbag, angry Dodger fans causing trouble again. Something like all the negative descriptions of Philly fans, because (/sarcasm on) clearly all Philly fans throw batteries, boo Santa and cheer when opposing players are injured (/sarcasm off).

Note this isn’t a condemnation of Craig but of the national media which is still running the story for utterly sensationalistic purposes, which is all the media whores have. Never let a good fact get in the way of a sensational headline.

You’re pretty sick, dude.

Mon, 21 May 2012 17:27:22 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=149320#comment-304456Way to go Craig. I see how you put the blame on Dodgers security(your assumption is wrong, stadium security and police saw the assault, intervened, and arrested all 4 suspects, but way to do your research before submitting your post!) and made no denigrating, sarcastic remarks about the Dodgers’ fans, which is where the blame belongs. Then again, the Dodgers are not your team’s division rival so I guess you were able to keep your personal emotions out of this post. Amateur hour continues…

I live in PHX and when the Sox came here in 2007 (and took over Chase Field), I felt badly for the D’Back fans… there was no drowning the Sox fans out… Much like Camden Yards 😦

And I’m only saying that cause I’ve never been to a sporting event outside the state. Ignorance plus passion is a dangerous combination

There’s plenty of hate out there, you just have to stir it up properly. But that’s something any Phan should be familiar with, amirite? 🙂
